Staffed by health educators, the team is committed to providing resources that are nurturing to the mind, body, and spirit. Our wellness programs enable our neighbors to remain safe, active, and vital members of our community.
Our team reaches into the community and sponsors screenings, health presentations, and wellness workshops throughout the New York City area that the Mount Sinai Health System serves.
The Karpas Center for Health Education and Community Outreach continues to flourish due to the pioneering spirit, generosity, and ongoing leadership of Suzanne Toor Karpas and late Irving D. Karpas, Jr.
